\fBgtk\-query\-immodules\-3\&.0\fR [\-\-update\-cache] [MODULE...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBgtk\-query\-immodules\-3\&.0\fR
collects information about loadable input method modules for GTK+ and writes it to the default cache file location, or to
stdout\&.
.PP
If called without arguments, it looks for modules in the GTK+ input method module path\&.

If called with arguments, it looks for the specified modules\&. The arguments may be absolute or relative paths\&.

Normally, the output of
\fBgtk\-query\-immodules\-3\&.0\fR
is written to
\fIlibdir\fR/gtk\-3\&.0/3\&.0\&.0/immodules\&.cache, where GTK+ looks for it by default\&. If it is written to some other location, the
\fBGTK_IM_MODULE_FILE\fR
environment variable can be set to point GTK+ at the file\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
